Selection of chrysanthemum varieties

Choose dwarf varieties, and ordinary families cultivate desk chrysanthemum, because desk chrysanthemum has the advantages of short plant, large flowers, lush leaves, colorful color, short growth period and long viewing period. When selecting cuttings, try to cut cuttings from the mother plant with short internodes and strong stems in the same variety, so that the chrysanthemum cultivated will be relatively short

Cutting time of Chrysanthemum

By delaying the cutting time, the vegetative growth period of chrysanthemum will be shortened, and the purpose of plant dwarfing can be achieved. One of the key factors for the dwarfing of chrysanthemums is the cutting time. Generally speaking, the cutting time of chrysanthemums is from April to May every year. If multiple chrysanthemums are cultivated, the cutting time can be postponed to the middle of July. If it is a single chrysanthemum, it should be postponed to the first ten days of August

cutting method of Chrysanthemum

reasonable cutting follows the principle of "shallow cutting and shallow planting". Insert the cuttings into the basin for about three or four centimeters, then press the soil by hand, compact it and pour water once. After half a month, if the cuttings are still green, it means that they have taken root and survived. One month after cutting, start the first transplanting. After transplanting, put it in a cool place to avoid light, wait until the seedlings are slow, and then move to the sunny place to receive sufficient light. The second transplanting should also follow the principle of shallow planting. The method is to bury the pot soil to about half of the pot height, and then cover the soil gradually with the growth of chrysanthemum stems

Chrysanthemum picking the heart

When the seedling height reaches about 10 cm, pick the heart. The number of times to pick the heart should be determined according to the growth habits of different varieties. The last time to pick the heart should not be too late, otherwise it will lead to the consequences that the buds will not come out or the flower buds will not open. In addition to the single chrysanthemum, the pot chrysanthemum generally retains 5-7 flowers

Chrysanthemum water and fertilizer control

Follow the principle of "pre control and post promotion". In the growth period, less water and less fertilizer should be used to prevent overgrowth, but in the later growth stage and flowering period, the amount of water and fertilizer should be increased to promote full flower buds

Spraying plant growth regulator

Hormones used to dwarf chrysanthemum include bijiu (B9), Paclobutrazol, etc. The use concentration of the longer time is 0.1% - 0.2%. The specific use method is: spray a longer solution on the top of chrysanthemum seedlings one week after cutting, so as to inhibit the rapid growth of the top. After a week in the basin, spray the longer solution evenly at an interval of about 7-10 days until the bud appears, which can not be interrupted. The spraying time is generally better in the evening. It is not allowed to spray at noon, which is easy to cause drug damage

According to the Dwarfing method introduced by Xiaobian, I believe flower friends can raise full and gorgeous chrysanthemums< span>
